Manly Eat-Well Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Sydney

We always love the food here but its relatively expensive. I recently ordered a takeaway and arrived about 20 minutes later to find my $80 of food sitting on the counter near the register, getting cold. Now, I am no food expert but I think this type food should be served warm. When left in plastic containers sitting on a cold counter, it will not stay warm. When I pointed this out to the owner, with the arrogance of a Michelin starred chef he responded "next time you should arrive on time" (I was told it would be ready "in about 15 minutes"). Again I am no expert, but I would think that even a Michelin starred chef would have the capacity to keep food warm SOMEWHERE (in the kitchen??) and it should not be up to his customers to instruct him on the very basics of food preparation. Our $80 two mains, rice and two soups were cold when we go home ten minutes later. I suppose this type of restaurant owner arrogance (and ignorance of health standards) reflects the dearth of decent Chinese restaurants in the Manly area, particularly ones which offer hot food at reasonable prices. My advice for takeaway customers is don't order here, but if you do, make sure YOU are not late to pick up your $25 fried chicken because the owner does not believe he has any responsibility to even ATTEMPT to keep your food hot. And whatever you do, if he is ignoring the most basic tenets of food safety and hospitality, just keep your mouth shut because you are...

1 star is to much if i could have given 0 i would have.. I ordered home delivery at 9pm at 10.25 i called to see where it was and was tolf he driver was 1 min away 15 mins later i got a phone call from the owner to say the driver hadn't turned up, it was not 10.45.. i told her to just cancel the order and refund me and not worry about it. She told me that she was NOT cancelling the order or giving me a refund , i tried to explain to her as a consumer she hadn't supplied the service i paid for so i needed a refund.. she point blank refused to refund me money and lied to the Menulog customer service operator and told them the driver was at the restaurant even though she had told me 1min earlier the driver was no longer coming and she was closing... This was to be the first time i was going to use this restaurant and its definitely my last.. Pathetic customer service taking money and not...

Oh dear. Don't. Just don't. Please don't be tempted to go here. We made the mistake of eating in. On our own. No other customers. Except for the many many doordash, uber eats and walk in take away orders If you want sweet and over seasoned pseudo cantonese food at home, fine, get a takeaway from here. But do not I repeat do not eat in If there are no other tables occupied in the 'restaurant' at 7pm on a Saturday night there never will be. Oh and filthy handmarks on the walls. Random? I must also mention the prices. Any of the 4 fish options on the menu (eg salmon fillet in black bean sauce) are $46. Yes you read it right. $46. Last I checked, this place does not have a couple of chefs hats in the SMH good food guide So there you have it. Make up...
